The mis-regulation of gene transcription in the living cell can be the cause of complex human diseases like cancer. One challenge of the post-genomic era of biomedical research is the development of in vitro techniques for the rapid and cost-effective anal ...
We have at our disposal observations relating to the mortality due to different types of cancer and we wish to compare them with a theoretical model. The usual models lead to increased mortality with increasing age, instead of the drop which is observed af ...
Background: Drug and contrast agent delivery systems that achieve controlled release in the presence of enzymatic activity are becoming increasingly important, as enzymatic activity is a hallmark of a wide array of diseases, including cancer and atheroscle ...
The present invention relates to an agent able to block a cancer supportive function of a fasciclin protein family member and to pharmaceutical compositions containing the same. ...
Background: TGF-beta 1 controls many pathophysiological processes including tissue homeostasis, fibrosis, and cancer progression. Together with its latency-associated peptide (LAP), TGF-beta 1 binds to the latent TGF-beta 1-binding protein-1 (LTBP-1), whic ...
Macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF) is a major mediator of innate immunity and inflammation and presents a potential therapeutic target for various inflammatory, infectious, and autoimmune diseases, including cancer. Although a number of inhibitor ...
For several decades, hepatotoxicity has been a major issue for drug development.Recently, three-dimensional (3D) cell culture has been believed to improve cell drug response accuracy. However important limitations such as slow production, lack of cell dens ...
A rare EcoRI restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) in the 3' end of the human c-mos locus has been identified in DNA from patients with breast tumors, esophageal carcinomas and leukemias. Until now, this RFLP has not been found in normal populati ...
The goals of tissue engineering include recapitulating specific tissue functions for regenerative medicine and developing in vitro models of human tissues to study human physiology and pathophysiology and for testing and screening drugs before expensive cl ...
